Cinnamon Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Totally forgotten I had planted them & have just discovered 2 huge,beautiful Squashes,but does anyone know how to tell when they are ripe,please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 They change colour from green to pale orangy beige, you then need to taken them off the plant and leave them in the sun for a couple of day to let the skin harden. I have 2 decent sized ones this year too which should finally ripen with this good weather. I have had a poor few years with them but one year I had masses.

sjp Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 there's one in the photo's in the pumpkin failure thread page 2 that I posted a couple of days ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted September 28, 2011 Author Share Posted September 28, 2011 Thanks. They are a nice golden orange,and much bigger than the ones at work! Will snip them and leave them in the sun for the next couple of days. Odd how they have thrived,but my pumpkin was a disaster even though the squashes were forgotten about and neglected.
